I know there was some coverage, yes. I remember being a little girl and watching that. I STILL remember what I saw, and that is part of the reason why I say NO to anything being televised. We do not need to see that, especially children. They don't understand what's going on, and what if their parents are in Iraq? Children seeing the possible war on television would scare the holy crap out of them.

Dove Gal, I agree with you 110%, although I gave my 1872 cents.

I understand what you're saying about scaring the children, but I have to respectfully disagree. I remember being young and in 2nd grade when Desert Storm was going on. I'm glad that I did watch Wolf Blitzer with my parents. I saw a part of history. But it's not just about seeing history. I think parents do need to teach their kids about all that is going on in the world. I'm not saying like toddlers or 4 year olds. It's good for the children to see what violence does and how negative it is. I might sound stupid cuz I don't think I'm wording correctly what I'm thinking.

I personally would watch it. Not like 24 hours a day tho. With that stuff that happened 9/11, I watched that like crazy. It's not that I had a fascination with it, I cried and was sad everytime I saw it. But it is history. I learned more about the world from watching the news than in a college history class.
